CHANGING THE FACEPLATE
This device includes a light-almond faceplate. To switch faceplates, follow the steps below.

Gently remove the white faceplate using a flathead screwdriver. Starting at the top left corner, gently pry the faceplate loose, working around the edge until it pops off.
Find the light-almond faceplate in the package. Place the new faceplate into position and carefully push until it snaps into place.

PREPARING FOR MULTI-SWITCH INSTALLATIONS
When combining controls in a wall box, remove all the inner side sections prior to making the electrical connections.

Use pliers to bend the side section up and down until it breaks off.
Repeat the process for each side section to be removed.

Detailed Installation Instructions

This timer has 3 different installation options. Please refer to the following descriptions for the installation instructions that apply to you.

Single pole installation is for when you only have one switch that controls your light.
3-Way installation is for when you have two switches that control the same light. You will need to know if you are installing your timer on the Line or Load side of your 3-Way switch and follow those installation instructions appropriately.
For a 3-Way installation, the Line side has the common (hot) terminal tied to 120VAC.
The switch on the Load side has the common (hot) terminal tied to the lamp/load the switch turns OFF and ON.
WARNING: Shut off power at the fuse box or circuit breaker before performing any wiring or installation

SINGLE POLE INSTALLATION

NOTE: For 3-way timer control and operation for fixtures with mechanical ballast, install the timer in the “load side” wiring box. Disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box, and remove the existing switch.

Connect the wires of the timer to the wall box as shown, using the wire nuts provided. See Figure 2.
Connect the hot/live wire from the line to the black wire from the timer.
Connect the hot/live wire from the load to the blue wire from the timer.
Connect the ground wire to the green wire from the timer.
Connect the neutral wire to the white wire from the timer. Often the neutral (white) wire can be found in the back of the wire box connected with a wire nut. There may be several neutral wires bound together. Add the neutral to all neutral wires bound together making sure the wire nut is tight.
Attach a wire nut to the red (traveler) wire from the back of the timer. This wire is not needed in the single pole installation.
Ensure that all wire nuts are secure. Tuck the wires into the wall box, leaving room for the timer.
Use the screws (CC) to mount the timer to the wall box, being careful not to crush any wires.
Reinstall your wall plate.
Turn the main power ON at the circuit breaker.
If the timer display does not turn on, disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Swap the black and blue wires on the timer.

Detailed Installation Instructions (continued)

SWITCH ON LINE SIDE

Disconnect the power from the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse from the fuse box.
Remove and label the common wire (should be hot/line), and remove one of the other wires.
Using the supplied wire nuts, connect the wire removed from the common, the supplied jumper, and the other removed wire (1) together.
Connect the jumper back to the common connection from the switch.
If the two wires (wire (1) and wire (5)) on the switch are colored or marked so you can tell them apart, record their markings for use later.
Tuck the wires into the box, leaving room for the switch.
Install the switch into the box.
Remove the load side 3-way switch and the three wires, labeling the common wire.
Connect the removed common wire to the blue wire from the timer.
Connect wire (1) to the black (line) wire from the timer.
Connect wire (5) to the red (traveler) wire from the timer.
Connect the white wire (1) from the timer to the white wire from the switch box (neutral).
The neutral wires may be bundled in the back of the switch box with a wire nut, and there may be several neutral wires bound together. Add the neutral to all neutral wires bound together, making sure the wire nut is tight.
Connect the green wire (3) from the timer to the ground in the switch box.
Tuck the wires into the switch box, leaving room for the timer.
Use the supplied screws to install the timer, being careful not to crush or pinch the wires.
Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
If the timer display does not turn on, swap wire (1) and wire (5). This can be done at the timer or toggle switch after disconnecting the power at the fuse box or circuit breaker. If the timer display does not turn on, disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Swap wire (1) and wire (5), which can be done at the timer or toggle switch.
Verify that the load turns ON and OFF when you manually turn the timer ON and OFF. Perform this test with the remote switch in both positions. You should hear the timer relay click ON/OFF. If you hear the relay click but the load does not turn ON/OFF properly, check your wiring.

EXISTING 3-WAY INSTALLATION (LINE SIDE; SEE FIGURES 3 and 5)

TIMER ON LINE SIDE

Disconnect the power from the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse from the fuse box.
Remove the line side 3-way switch and wires, and label the wire removed from the common terminal. Connect the common wire (1) to the black wire from the timer using the supplied wire nuts.
Connect the white wire from the timer to the neutral wire (white). The neutral wires may be bundled together in the back of the box, and there may be several neutral wires bound together. Add the neutral to all neutral wires bound together, ensuring the wire nut is tight.
Connect the two remaining wires to the red wire (5) and blue wire (4) from the timer. The wires are colored or marked, so you can tell them apart and note their markings for use later.
Connect the green wire (3) to the ground wire (green or bare wire in box).
Carefully tuck the wires into the switch box, leaving room for the timer.
Use the supplied screws to install the timer, being careful not to crush or pinch the wires.
Remove the load side 3-way switch and wires, and label the common wire (4).
Connect the jumper wire from the switch to both the load wire and wire (4). You should have three wires connected with one wire nut.
Connect the jumper back to the common input of the 3-way switch. The other wire (5) should stay connected to one of the other connections of the 3-way switch.
Carefully tuck the wires into the switch box leaving room for the timer. Use the screws provided to install the timer in the box, being careful not to crush any wires.
Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Verify that the load turns ON and OFF when you manually turn the timer ON and OFF. Perform this test with the remote switch in both positions.
If the load does not operate proprerly, disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Then swap wire (4) and wire (5). This can be done at the time or the toggle switch.
